UPDATE:We need you to lift us up in prayer like you never have before. Harper is in VERY critical condition and they are going to fly her to AR Children's hospital. It is very, very serious and the NICU doctor did not give us a favorable report. Scott and his parents will be driving there tonight. My parents and I will be driving there in the morning as soon as I can get out of the hospital. We know that God is soveriegn. WE KNOW that God is the same right now to us as He was to us this morning when we were so excited and praising Him as we drove to the hospital. We know that He loves us and no matter what happens - we will continue to praise Him. I honestly don't know how I'm going to survive if we lose her. I just want to be honest with you. I'm putting this on my blog right now because we have had over 30,000 hits today and I need 30,000 of God's people to be praying for us. Thank you in advance for getting on your knees for our precious daughter.

Harper Brown Stamps was born at 7:03 PM. She weighed 9lb and 12oz.She is having some trouble breathing, so they have taken her to the NICU to check her heart. They have had to incubate her - they are doing tests to see what's going on.Also, Kelly lost a lot of blood in delivery and has really low blood pressure. We would really appreciate your prayers for both mother and daughter.

I have been following your story for quite some time, and the days events today. Even though I have never posted, I have prayed for Harper from the day I found your site. Tonight I pray still for all of you.

I forgot to say CONGRATS - I was so upset and my heart just goes out to you and your sweet girl. So, congratulations to you and your hubby. You are in my thoughts & prayers!! I will be praying for your sweet girl.

Although you don't know me, I've been reading your blog for some time. Today, I've been praying for you and for a safe delivery. Know that you and Harper are in my thoughts and prayers. God is good, all the time. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your lives.

Consider it done, Scott! Although I haven't seen Kelly in years, she is still a VERY good friend of mine & I love her like a sister. We will continue to pray for her and baby Harper. I plan on putting them both on our church's prayer list as well.

This is my first time to comment on your blog, but now is the time to do so.We are praying for your sweet Harper and you from Las Vegas, Nv. I know everything HE will make everything fine for the 2 of you. Congrats

Lordamercy, you have no idea what kind of tidal wave of prayers is going to be coming at y'all :) We have all waited with bated breath and lots of prayers for this sweet baby girl. There's no way we're going to stop praying now! Much love to the new version of The Stamps Family...

We've been waiting to hear this news all day, but I hate that she's in the NICU. I am praying for little Harper to start breathing well and on her own and for Kelly as she recovers from delivery. We will be anxiously waiting for the good news that Mom and Baby are well. Your family is dearly loved and being covered in prayer. Welcome to the world sweet Harper!!

God, Harper is your child and you have wonderful plans for her precious life! We thank you that she is in your strong and loving hands, esp during her first moments on this earth. Protect her Father, breathe the life and breath into her that she needs to thrive and give her the strength she needs both now and for the rest of her days to come. Bathe this family with peace, comfort, and love! We cling to your promises that are so good - we find such hope in you. Sending love from the west coast,Rebecca Portland, OR (just found your blog a few weeks ago and have grown to care for you as a friend and sister in Christ)

Congratulations Scott and Kelly!!!!I've been reading your blog for quite some time and have been anticipating Harper's birth! My second child is just four months old, so labor and delivery is still very fresh in my mind! I am praying for you, Kelly, Scott and Harper. Praying for wisdom for the docs and complete peace to surround you all. My first child, Sophia, weighed in at 9lbs, 14oz, so I can relate to the hard work you just went through Kelly. Good job!!!! Praying things get figured out quickly with Harper and that your blood pressure gets under control. Praying, praying, praying!!! Ruthie

Lord, please bless dear sweet Harper and heal whatever is ailing her. Thank you for blessing Scott and Kelly with this lovely child.. please wrap them in your arms and send a host of angels to surround them with your love and heavenly peace.In your name, I ask this.

Congrats Scott and Kelly!!! We are so excited Harper has arrived. We are praying that Harper's breathing and possible heart issues are only temporary. I hope Kelly's blood loss and low blood pressure is something she can bounce back from quickly. I have faith both girls are in God's hands.

Congratulations!! I have been waiting all day and checking like crazy!

Dear Lord, I lift our friend Kelly and sweet baby Harper up to you right now! Dear Lord, you know she has prayed for this child and has given you all the credit Dear Lord, and right now, I ask you to be with her and Harper, touch both of them with your healing hand and guide the doctors and nurses with your wisdom! I pray that your presence and power will be felt all over that hospital! In your name I pray..AMEN

Congrats Kelly and Scott. I am so ready to see Harper in all of her adorable outfits and headbands. God has blessed you with this beautiful miracle and he is in control. Your family is in my prayer tonight and I look forward to seeing picutures of Harper. Leigh

I've been anxiously checking your blog all day. Thank you so much taking time to update all of us. Prayers for healing for both Kelly and precious baby Harper and peace and comfort for the whole famiily from Henderson, Nevada!

Lifting your family up in prayer here in Columbus, Ohio. Have been reading for awhile but yet to comment. This seemed like the perfect time. God bless your sweet family we will be praying! Congrats on the birth of your baby girl!

Congratulations to you & Scott! I'll be praying for you & Harper. Remember Ephesians 3:20!! He is more than able. I love your blog and haven't posted before. I too have a miracle baby,Gavin. It took us 12 years and we also have a baby girl, Ava Grace, in heaven. When Gavin was born he had to be rushed off because he had trouble breathing also. He had holes in his lungs that closed up quickly. He was back in my arms in no time. And I pray that sweet lil' Harper will be back in yours soon too. Blessings to all of you. Enjoy every moment with her and take not a second for granted! Sorry this was a long post :-) God Bless!!!

It's amazing how God lays things on your heart. I prayed for you all at about 7:30 your time (8:30 my time), not knowing that you had just had Harper not long before. Please know that you, Scott, and little Harper are in my prayers.Elyse

Congratulations Kelly & Scott!! I will certainly continue to pray for sweet Harper, Kelly and your whole family. God has both these precious girls in his hands and I pray that tomorrow will bring a joyful turn of events for all of you. I know Harper is a beautiful baby. Love & blessings to you all!

I am praying for you and for baby Harper and will be throughout the night. I know what it is like to have a baby in the NICU. Mine was there too after birth. Praying for complete healing for her little body.

Dear Lord,Thank you so much for the arrival of Harper. She has been prayed for and we all welcome her and thank you for a safe delivery.

I pray that you will please be with this family. I pray that You will put your hand on Miss Harper. Please help her little body to breath properly. Also, please be with her mommy. Please help her to be able to recover and enjoy their new little blessing.

Thank you so much for all you have done for this family. You are an awesome God!

Congratulations! I am so sorry there were complications during the delivery, you all are in my thoughts and prayers! I hope Kelly recovers quickly and everything is okay with Harper. Blessings, Whitney Vanderbilt

Lord I thank you for Kelly and what she stands for. Lord I ask you to continue to work in her life and body and help her to recover from having the miracle you've given she and Scott. Lord I pray you be with this beautiful baby we know as Harper. Lord please touch her body and heal her of whatever is needed. Lord you created this miracle child and we're confident you will not stop until you have her perfected. Lord please be with Scott as he stands by Kelly during this time. Please calm all their fears and give them peace that only you can give. We love you Lord and we thank you for all our many blessings.

Father, I lift the Stamps up to you. I pray that you put your mighty arms around them. I pray that you let them feel your warmth and love. I pray that you restore health in Kelly and Harper's bodies, Lord. You are the Mighty Physician and I pray that you heal them.

Congratulations! I have been following your blog since this past spring when you went to Hawaii and never commented much, you get so many, but any how I had to comment this time to send along my best wishes and to let you know that I will be praying for you and your precious baby, Harper.

Lord, I thank you for this miracle. I praise you because you are the great healer. I praise you because you are healing Harper's heart. I thank that you are restoring Kelly's vitals and restoring her health.

Kelly, Please know that you have a TON of people praying for your whole family RIGHT NOW! I'm so excited for you guys! We had a rocky start as well and it's all a distant memory now...praying hard for you and Harper!
